Why in the world would the developer, whose work I have immense respect for btw, not argue that he did not owe this money when he was selling off facilities to those same districts to the tune of maybe a $47.1 million loss?????

He didn't know he was selling facilities at a loss?
His lawyers recently helped him discover those losses?
